A Lawsuit By A Transgender Parent

In a sign of the unbelieveable times we're living in-a "transgender parent" is suing the McIntosh County Public School system in rural Georgia to allow his/her SEVEN YEAR OLD daughter to use the boy's bathroom.
Why does this "transgender parent" want his/her SEVEN YEAR OLD daughter to use the boy's bathroom?
You ready for this?
Because the "transgender parent" claimed that at the wise age of 18 MONTHS OLD, his/her daughter uttered the words, "I'm a boy."
(I promise, I don't make this stuff up)
I know, I know.
Many of you are saying, "As long as the child has a loving parent who can provide for the child, the sexual orientation of the parent shouldn't matter."

See, that right there-that type of thinking is the problem.
Everybody has become so politically correct, that people are afraid to speak out for fear of being called homophobic or insenstive.
Especially people of color-we'll read stuff like this and keep our thoughts to ourselves because,
"We've been through the civil rights movement and shouldn't participate in the discrimination of other human beings."
Yeah..........ok!
(steps to the mic)
TESTING! TESTING!
(Is this thing on?)
(It is?)
Cool!
Ummmm......look here!
I do NOT believe that God make mistakes.
But some people do, and some of those people will undergo a sex change because let them tell it, they were born with the wrong body.
And this is what this lawsuit is about.
It's a political statement by this "transgender parent" to justify their decision to have a sex change, and they're trying to use this child to make their case.
Instead of walking into a courtroom to file this frivilous lawsuit, he/she should be walking into a courtroom to determine if they're fit to be a parent.
No parent in their right mind would even consider allowing their SEVEN YEAR OLD daughter to use the boy's bathroom, let along sue a school system for that child's right to do so.
I bet this same "transgender parent" will be right back in court trying to sue this very same school system for sexual harrassment the first time a little boy puts his hand up this little girl's skirt.
Because it's going to happen, that's what little boys do. 
But that doesn't matter.
Nor does it matter that this might cause emotional damage to this child by putting her
through the scrutiny and unwanted attention she will have to deal with throughout the school year.
All because of the lawsuit of her "transgender parent".

Farewell To McKinley "Bug " Williams


For those of you who don't know, I'm the biggest Frankie Beverly and Maze fan in the world- the whole WIDE world!!
No, like FOR REAL- for real!!
That's why I was so sad to hear about the passing of one of the founding members of the group.
McKinley Williams or "Uncle June Bug" as my brother and I called him, passed away this week.
I first experienced the Maze experience when I was only 8 years old. My dad would take us to the Southern Heritage Festival here in Birmingham and we would sit out there with all the "old folks" dancing, singing, and pretending to hit the bongos like we were "Uncle June Bug".
I've seen Maze no less than 50 times.......yes, you read correctly, FIFTY! And not one time have I ever left a show disappointed or feeling like I didn't get my money's worth.
But as a true Maze fan, I can honestly say, a Maze concert will never be the same with seeing "Uncle June Bug" on Frankie's right side.
We will miss you McKinley "Bug" Williams.

Have A Seat Mr. President, We Need To Talk.


First of all Mr. President, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us here in The Board Room.
I'm sure you've heard by now that we keeps it 100 here in The Board Room, so as one of your biggest supporters, I have to say publicly what some are saying privately.
I know you're trying hard not to come off as the "Angry Black Man" but sometimes (how can I say this?)
Ummm........let's see..........Ok.
Sometimes, Mr. President you act like a punk!
So much so that lately, I've started to question if you even have a pair.
WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
CALM DOWN MR. PRESIDENT!
I didn't mean to tick you off, but honestly, that's the side of you your supporters need to see.
Example, instead of saying;
"The GOP should stop their political postering and focus on helping the American people."
You should walk right up to the mic, look directly into Camera two and say,
"All conservatives can go straight to hell!"
Then drop the mic and walk away from the podium!
I'm serious Mr. President, do it just like that.
If you do that, I promise you, people like Jim Dement (R-SC) will think twice about saying what he said this past weekend.
Wait, you didn't hear him?
He said he could care less about hearing your idiotic speech about jobs.
Seriously, that's what he said!
And that's my point Mr. President.
You're trying to compromise with people who don't even respect you as a man, let along the leader of the free world.
They've already admitted that their number one objective is to make sure you don't get re-elected.
So why compromise or try to meet them in the middle?
Mr. President, I can't begin to understand the pressure you're under-especially, being the first black president.
But your supporters want you to at least ACT like you understand that you're at war (politically).
Because if you don't, we will no longer be "Fired Up and Ready To Go", we'll be "Fed Up and Ready To Get It Over With".
And that could be a huge problem for you in 2012.

Thanks for stopping by The Board Room Mr. President.
